Marine vendors in Singapore

Over the course of working on my various boat maintenance and overhaul tasks, I’ve interacted with quite a few marine, hardware, and other vendors here in Singapore. Partly for my own edification, but also because I’m often running into people looking for similar stuff, I’ve decided to keep a list of vendors in Singapore I like.

There is one other list I know of, which is quite good and has informed some of my own quests for parts or hardware.

General services

Hi Kris
I’ve been reading your blog for over the last few months..good job sounds like you having lots of fun. I am going to be in Singapore between 29 April and 09 May and would to come and see what you getting up to.
I am looking at possibly moving to Singapore for a short term (1-2 year stay) stint and would like to know a expat take on life abroad and aboard in Singapore.
Would you be interested in making yourself available for a visit?

i being following you blog for quite a while and find it interesting to read and follow. I had interest to move to a boat and like to seek your advice on this matter. especially things like initial cost of Oia.

We are actually in Langkawi and plan to stop to Singapore on the way to Pacific ocean.
Do you know a place to buy Hi tensil galvanized Short Link chain ?
Here in Malaysia, it is so hard to find very good chain.
Thank you for you answer.
Regards
Laurent

Laurent — I suggest checking with Marintech and Keng Wah (both on my list) as they are where I’ve bought chain. Not very sure about the short link chain, depending on how short you need, but if you contact them in advance I’m sure they can tell you. Cheers -Kris

Good morning from Indonesia. My sailboat (B-Windi) is moored in Bali and as you may know it is difficult to find sailing boat parts in Bali. I need 3 and 5 amp fuses “U” shape part number 05 02 12154 made in Netherlands. Do you by chance know where I can purchase these in Singapore? I will be passing by Singapore on this 14th and could easely make my way to a shop if I new which one… You help would be apprecited. Regards Francisco

I suspect I’m a bit too late in responding, but if you happen to be in Singapore again, Sim Lim Tower is the best place to poke around for random electrical parts. Specific part numbers can be extremely hard to find though.

Hi, our company Oceanic Link Pte Ltd manufactures and represents a very comprehensive range of Yacht coatings and paint related materials. We are also the master distributors for Sikaflex marine sealants in Singapore and Malaysia. For tropical hardwood such as Balau, Merbau, Burmese Teak for deck planking, we are able to provide great offers too. FYI only.

We are Charlene and Kris, a Singaporean and American couple living in SE Asia. Oia is our boat. She's a 40' sloop outfitted for cruising; she has lain in Singapore for a couple years and is now nearly ready for some real sailing. This blog is about the trials, tribulations, and adventures of learning more about Oia, living on a boat, and sailing in Southeast Asia!
